The Savage Stage of Childhood.

Like the savages of to-day, those
fierce progenitors of ours must have
delighted in the torture of captured
enemies. Thus, during long ages,
compassion was unknown, and it APP
pears to have been lately acquired by
the now dominant races. Indeed,
even among so highly cultivated
people as the Romans, it remained al
most unknown until comparatively
recent times-say fifteen hundred
years ago-in proof OF which may be
noted their heartless fondness for the
bloody sports of the arena.
The emotion Of pity, then, appeared
late in the history of the race; and, in
view of the law Of our development,
which carries us along the path our
ancestors have trod, how can we ex-
pect our boys to be anything else but
cruel? How far is it judcious to 90,
in trying to alter the natural course
of q child's mental growth by impos-
ing upon him ideas which in due
course he will not share until later?
This last question is inviting, but we
will not go into its solution at present,
contenting ourselves with observing
that because a boy shows no COM
junction at giving pain to captive
bird, or calmly lacerates the feel
ings of a family of squirrels, merely to
give himself few soon-neglected
pets, is no reason for expecting him to
grow up monster of cruelty. And
we will further venture to suggest that
much Of the immortality of boys is a
necessary consequence Of their de-
scent, as a corollary of which follows
the aphorism of my witty friend, "a
good boy is diseased. Popular SCI
es1ce Monthly.

A Mandarin's Gratitude.

A missionary of the American board
stationed at the China inland mission,
writes to the home office in Boston of
an odd incident. A Chinese mandarin
recently gave an entertainment and
presented a valuable testimonial to the
Christian hospital, out of gratitude
for medical services rendered to his
aged father. The son was absent on
duty, and the father was cured of a
sickness which Wa =;iPposed to be
fatal. While the old gentleman was
at the worst the wife of the absent
son, acting in place of her husband,
performed an act supposed to propi-
tate heaven and to secure the restor-
alton of her father-in-law.
With her own hand she cut piece
of flesh from her arm, had it cooked,
and administered it to the patient. On
the sons return his gratitude to the
missionaries was boundless. He had
prepared memorial tablet, eight feet
by four, which was suitably inscribed.
This was hung from n bamboo pole,
and carried by two men, preceded by
a band of musicians. As they APP
preached the house big lunches of
firecrackers were fired, and the tablet
was presented with much ceremony.

A King Cures Dyspepsia.

Henry VIII. one day lost his way
ont hunting and as he had started the
chase at Windsor and found himself
outside the abbot of Readings house
at dinner-time, he must be allowed to
have got some distance from his bear
ings. Clearly, however, the next
thing was to dine and this he did at
the abbots table, the bat-eyed church
man having taken him for one of the
royal guards. A sirloin was produced
and the king "laid on, much marked
of the abbot who had rs much appe-
tite as a peahen. When the roast had
almost disappeared before the royal
onslaught the churchman could con-
tain himself no longer.
''Well fare thy heart, he exclaimed
to the supposed man-at-arms, ''for

king pledged his host and departed.
Sople weeks later the abbot was com
mitted to the tower and fed for a short
space on bread and water-a novel
treatment for loss of appetite which
threw the pious patient into the most
horrid detection, yet not so empty

filled with fears as to how he had in
CURED the kings displeasure. At
the very climax of this emptiness a sir
